lfaraone | I have accepted FFe sync requests that just need Archive Admin approval. Can I change the dependencies of a metapacakge to depend on a version of these not-yet-synced packages even though it'll make the metapackage temporarily uninstallable? | 02:02 |
---|---|---|
crimsun_ | you /can/ but whether it's appropriate is influenced by how much pain you wish to inflict. I'd at least send out a devel-discuss e-mail; perhaps better to wait post-Beta. | 02:04 |
lfaraone | crimsun_: fair enough. oh, right, it'd break our daily builds of Ubuntu Sugar Remix :) | 02:04 |
lfaraone | In a related vein, I'm renaming sugar-logviewer-activity to sugar-log-activity to be in line with Debian. So I don't have to have an Ubuntu diff on that package, can I add a transitional dummy package to the ubuntu-sugar-remix-meta source package? | 02:27 |
persia | lfaraone, You want the transitional dummy package to live in sugar-log-activity source | 02:27 |
lfaraone | persia: but that means I have to have a diff! unless I (as a DD) decide to upload a useless dummy package to Debian... | 02:28 |
persia | But you have to ask yourself, is it so important to do that now that it's worth all the exceptions, rather than realigning for natty? | 02:28 |
lfaraone | persia: oh, it's already been renamed. | 02:28 |
persia | lfaraone, Yes indeed, it does. No helping that. | 02:28 |
persia | Well then, you need that transitional dummy package in a hurry :) | 02:29 |
persia | Or all your upgrading users will have issues. | 02:29 |
persia | (but I still see sugar-logviewer-activity in maverick, so ...) | 02:29 |
lfaraone | oh, wait, I must be thinking of another package. | 02:31 |
ajmitch | the poll package? | 02:32 |
persia | Since you have to carry a diff or have a useless package *anyway*, and the transition package has to be carried to LTS+1 (at least), I'd not consider it release critical were I you. | 02:32 |
lfaraone | persia: I'm not. | 02:32 |
lfaraone | nevermind, right now we don't have any renames we've handled. | 02:33 |
lfaraone | (or need to this cycle, for that matter) | 02:34 |
persia | Heh, OK. Don't forget your Breaks and Replaces for your renamed package, etc. | 02:34 |
micahg | neversfelde: there's an interest in getting minitube upgraded, are you interested in the merge? | 05:56 |

Laney | hyperair: that was me, just use the HEAD id if it's wrong | 08:32 |
Laney | looks like it should be db21571d4 | 08:33 |
hyperair | oh okay | 08:33 |
Laney | maybe i rebased or something | 08:34 |
Laney | the get-orig-source will sort you out | 08:35 |
hyperair | oh right, get-orig-source | 08:35 |
hyperair | so how much did you add in? should i add you to debian/copyright and Uploaders? | 08:35 |
Laney | no don't bother | 08:36 |
Laney | i tweaked copyright, added get-orig-source and altered rules a bit | 08:37 |
hyperair | okay | 08:37 |
Laney | i enjoy that get-orig-source of asac's though, will keep it around | 08:37 |

Laney | hyperair: http://pastebin.com/A1mfe6MN that's the one | 09:23 |
Laney | you might want to make it use git archive instead | 09:23 |
Laney | but... effort | 09:23 |
hyperair | hmm git archive | 09:24 |
hyperair | git archive has a weakness where it does not work well with submodules | 09:24 |

dholbach | if anybody has a tiny bit of time, can you branch lp:~dholbach/harvest/release-prep follow the instructions in the INSTALL file and play with it and see if there's anything glaringly broken? O:-) | 09:31 |
hyperair | Laney: what's the update-local-branch bit? | 09:33 |
Laney | hyperair: you can see the original code here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~asac/connman/connman.debian.unstable/annotate/head%3A/debian/rules | 09:36 |
persia | Laney, `sed '/Version:/s/Version: //'` achieves the same as `grep Version: | sed -e 's/Version: //'`, except it's faster, uses less ram, and easier to read. | 09:38 |
* persia would do `sed '/^Version:/s/Version: //'`just to skip any non-line-starting "Version: " | 09:39 | |
Laney | persia: ack, but those were cribbed | 09:39 |
Laney | not that that's a good excuse | 09:39 |
persia | No reason not to improve them :) | 09:39 |
Laney | I just didn't feel like rewriting it | 09:39 |
persia | cargo cult hacking is strongly discouraged | 09:39 |
Laney | I use it when it saves me time and effort. :( | 09:39 |
Laney | I'm sure asac would appreciate the input too | 09:40 |
persia | And one can probably make it faster by using make's internal text manipulation routines rather than the shell echo foo lines below | 09:40 |
persia | That get-orig-source isn't policy-complaint anyway, as it can't be run from arbitrary directories (fails to use $dir( $(_)), etc.) | 09:41 |
persia | Plus that *shouldn't* work, because it's $(call GET_SOURCE) and there's no call to $(shell ...) | 09:42 |

wgrant | dholbach: I'm preparing a branch now. | 10:06 |
dholbach | wgrant, you are awesome! | 10:07 |

dholbach | ajmitch, it's basically release candidate | 10:49 |
dholbach | ajmitch, so we can get it deployed soon | 10:50 |
ajmitch | ok | 10:50 |
nigelb | from what I saw of harvest during UDS, it rocked. Waiting to see how the new one looks :) | 10:51 |
nigelb | I think there was extensive changes from when I saw it last :D | 10:51 |
* ajmitch should have a look at where it's grabbing data from | 10:51 | |
dholbach | from lp:harvest-data | 10:51 |
ajmitch | I'm sure that this update step will finish one day before release.. | 10:53 |
hyperair | hmm there's no dh_makeclilibs | 10:54 |
ajmitch | hyperair: ? | 10:55 |
hyperair | ajmitch: in Laney's git repo for gkeyfile# | 10:55 |
ajmitch | hyperair: unless it's been removed, it exists on my lucid system | 10:55 |

* ajmitch would be worried if cli-common-dev had dropped it :) | 10:56 | |

dholbach | lifeless, edge should be good enough for me :) | 10:58 |
lifeless | dholbach: it will only be on edge today/tomorrow. | 10:58 |
lifeless | dholbach: we're getting rid of edge - using it as a dev, deliberately is fine, but you really don't want anything packaged using it. | 10:59 |
dholbach | lifeless, it's not going to get packaged | 10:59 |
lifeless | kk | 10:59 |
dholbach | it'l be a webpage :) | 11:00 |
ajmitch | dholbach: it's looking nice now | 11:01 |
dholbach | Dylan's work | 11:01 |
wgrant | lifeless: Using edge has historically been a good idea. | 11:01 |
wgrant | lifeless: Since when the API breaks, you can just flip to production until you update your client. | 11:02 |
lifeless | wgrant: yes, and the upshot of this is that production is consistently worse than edge | 11:02 |
wgrant | lifeless: Hm? | 11:03 |
lifeless | wgrant: nvm I've been muttering about latency and cycle time to myself all day | 11:03 |
Laney | hyperair: still a WIP, I don't claim that it was finished | 11:04 |

dholbach | ajmitch, that's a harvest-data bug | 11:09 |
ajmitch | ok | 11:10 |
* Laney Files It Really Quickly | 11:10 | |
Laney | there should be a report for that | 11:10 |
ajmitch | Laney: yeah, there's not one now | 11:10 |
ajmitch | I'll let you do it :) | 11:10 |
Laney | no I don't mean a harvest bug report, that's yours | 11:11 |
ajmitch | I was meaning the removal request actually | 11:11 |
Laney | I mean a report "stuff wot woz removed in debian but not done got removed in ubuntu" | 11:11 |
dholbach | maybe you can specify which list it was on | 11:11 |
ajmitch | dholbach: cli-mono packageset, I'll put it in the bug report | 11:11 |
Laney | well the package exists in stable releases | 11:12 |
dholbach | ajmitch, which opportunity list | 11:12 |
dholbach | ajmitch, thanks a lot! | 11:12 |
ajmitch | yep, so there could technically still be SRU stuff to do to it, though it'd be unlikely | 11:12 |
ajmitch | Laney: filed your kill kill kill request? | 11:17 |

* ajmitch spots it | 11:18 | |
ajmitch | ubuntu-archive not subscribed? | 11:18 |

ajmitch | might have been LP being slow | 11:18 |
ajmitch | it shows up now when I refreshed | 11:19 |
ajmitch | dholbach: so adding new stuff for harvest is just by adding a url to the opportunities file in harvest-data? | 11:22 |
dholbach | ajmitch, exactement | 11:22 |
* ajmitch wonders if it'd be worth adding that rc bugs stuff or not | 11:23 | |
ajmitch | given its inaccuracy :) | 11:23 |
dholbach | I'm sure that people will find bugs if it's broken :) | 11:24 |

AnAnt | Hello | 16:36 |
kklimonda | hmm.. I need a tool to add license header to multiple files, anyone knows something like that? | 16:38 |
persia | You're upstream? | 16:38 |
kklimonda | yes | 16:39 |
persia | ed can be very useful for that sort of thing. | 16:39 |
kklimonda | I just don't have a better channel to ask :) | 16:39 |
persia | scriptable editor | 16:39 |
kklimonda | hmm, yeah.. I could do that if there is no tool available - I could swear there was something. :) | 16:40 |
persia | ed ought be easy: load the file, count through the comment at the top, insert the contents of another file on the filesystem (containing your license header), save, close. | 16:43 |

anoteng | Hello, I'm packaging a program that expects some files to be present in a subfolder of the main executable. Is it OK to create a symlink from /usr/bin/appname to the real binary? Also, is it ok to put the binary and necessary files in /usr/share/appname, or should I place them somewhere else? | 18:17 |
azeem | anoteng: what programming language is it in? | 18:19 |
anoteng | pascal/lazarus | 18:19 |
anoteng | azeem: ^ | 18:19 |
azeem | is that being compiled? | 18:19 |
anoteng | yup | 18:19 |
azeem | if so, it should probably go under /usr/lib, not /usr/share | 18:20 |
anoteng | azeem: There's only one compiled binary, the rest of the files are plain text.. place it all in /usr/lib/appname/ ??? | 18:21 |
kklimonda | anoteng: place them in /usr/share/appname/ and fix the application so it looks for files in the new place. well, that's what I would do. | 18:31 |
anoteng | kklimonda: Yea, that would be the best thing to do, but lazarus projects is a mess, especially if you don't know pascal. | 18:59 |
anoteng | I'll try one more time... | 18:59 |
Muscovy | Hi, I'm trying to make a meta-package that installs all the packages Totem needs for DVD support (gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, etc), then runs /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh. Problem is, the aforementioned script uses apt, so it fails because apt is already running. Could someone help me find a solution? | 19:30 |
geser | you can't install another packages in maintainer scripts | 19:43 |
Muscovy | Should I just go through the file and dependency stuff then? | 19:47 |
stalcup | cool, thanks michag | 20:09 |
stalcup | I'll work on that when I get homw | 20:09 |
micahg | stalcup: thank you :) | 20:10 |
